Today we are going to tell you about the Unique Tarim Desert Highway. Watch until the end and share your impressions, conclusions, and comments with us. Enjoy!
It is not that hard to take the phone out of your pocked (everybody in the world have one) and make the conversion. Gees, people want everything done for them nowadays. That is the reason China is advancing so fast. They just do what is needed.
Woww, first time hearing narration on China without bashing at it one second on RU-vid, other channels always dilute content with that. Amazing video, scripting, and narration it was super informative.
Cuz they have so much back bad records which always comes in mind 😁🤣 while even talking about them Sudden devlopment come with sacrifice And many more Like a game user using mod Nd hacks 😂 🤣😂
Wonder why they bashing China? Must be just their jealousy and bias. Poor authoritarian dictators and their 6 million thugs, cctv cameras, tracking apps, jail systems, "great" wall of fire that keep their citizens in internet prison .. And bad bad outsiders who are refusing give all their money, land jobs to CCP.
2:36 “…about 229ft on either side of the road.” I do not understand the absurd precision often used when metric quantities are converted to imperial. Especially in this case where 70m is ~229.7ft which correctly rounds to 230ft anyway.
We have three such roads, and all of them cross the desert, the length of each is about 500 kilometers. I would like to inform you that from April to October every year, there are service points along the road where you can rest and drink water. So, if you are a cycling enthusiast, you can try your hand at crossing this desert road. It will be a bit difficult - in mid-summer at noon the surface temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, so it's best to ride in the early morning and late evening, and rest at lunchtime. However, due to the dense distribution of service points and the presence of two small towns along the way, it can generally be said that the whole process is pretty safe, provided your health is good. I highly recommend cycling enthusiasts to try their hand at this route. Another exciting guide is the 5,476 kilometer bike ride from Shanghai to Lhasa, passing through more than a dozen provinces in China, with delightful views. Also highly recommended for cycling enthusiasts!
Excellent piece. Thank you. Very interesting. I think it is quite unique. Although I remember a desert road in Lybia, that the flight I was on from South Africa to London seemed to follow for almost two hours to the Mediterranean coast. At a speed if about 750 km/h that would be about 900 miles of desert road. I read that Lybia has an extensive network of oil roads in the desert to service their oil wells.
More than oil & gas it is a strategic road to connect to Tibet. The other access to Tibet further east is through the high mountains of Aksai Chin. It passes through area annexed from Indian territory & will have to be returned sooner or later. Besides, in case of an Indo China war it gives them one more route to access Tibet.
What Indian territory? The eastern part is attached to the rest of India with an umbilical cord. People in the east are East Asians. They are forced to be in India by British when they drew the boundary and left.
Shut up, India was not even a country historically and u r put together by British to push drugs. Bfore India, its a fragmented land with various empires doing their own thing.
You might rethink your commentary about the road being unique. The Eyre Highway (commonly referred to as the Nullarbor Hwy) in Australia is 1675km long and takes around two days to cross, with petrol stations 200 klm apart. The longest strait stretch is 147 km (91 miles). 🇦🇺
The Nullarbor Plain road in Western Australia is 781 miles long with no inhabitants, apart from roadhouse occupants. Most of that is not sandy desert. The transSahara Highway is 4,000km, with a lot of that being dunes. So this is not the longest route.
Interesting. Reminds me of the view from freeway of Southern Pacific Railway through the Coachella Valley from Cabazon to Indio California. Salt Cedar trees serve to keep sand off track and break the wind.
It is fascinating, but a railroad would have been 100000 times smarter. It can transport more efficiently and more oil volume is better for the enviroment and faster travel. They build railroads everywhere else but smh they neglect it here
@@benb5891 No it wouldn't be, because that has exactly the same solution as when the road gets sand blown all over it: they planted corridors of trees.
In the event of World War 3 this will facilitate ease of access in moving troops and material so that the oils wells etc, can be secured quickly as possible to preserve what is left so that the supply can be manipulated even more that it already is.
Such projects are very temporary and needs lot of maintenance and care. Like growing a forests in the middle of desert. With uproraring global climate such projects are hard to sustain or needs lot of money to pour for survival.
You can find other videos about this road's sustaintion, per 20+km one station with a couple workers(with a husband and his wife mostly). Their job is to pump the water for the trees and grass around the road.
Now, the Fruit bearing trees like avocado. mango, jackfruit, date, licchi, grapes etc must now be plated in the middle of the desert roadside planted forests. ok.
Will the other countrys plant green in their desert? China is the top rank who plant green most in the world... A desert in Northern China called Mu Us desert has become green land for decades hard work.
@NickBrown How about sharing with us USA and her allies like Australia, Canada, EU, and UK Military terrorism to where ie in Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, etc etc
'Why did the chinese build the road across the desert?' Well, to get to the other side. Anyway, the desert there is foreboding, and the road is interesting, but I don't think there is anything too amazing about drilling into an aquifer for water!
I have a question , why road , why not they build railway for oil and for passengers ? (Maybe it's costly build but after that railway system save time and money )
Its Military purpose against India, Its Aksai China China occupied Kashmir, Which India lost in early 1970, china took advantage of India's India unstable politics, India newly independent at was that time, IndiaChina army was not advanced as compared to china, we had only British left weapons,but now we are worlds 2nd most military person and 4th largest military in world,we will definitely take this land back in future its not only dream its revenge tibbat,south China,Aksai Chin
Its military purpose has no relation with development also the same with border areas Chinese the human colony, Aksai China China occupied Kashmir, Which India lost in early 1970, china took advantage of India's India unstable politics, India's newly independent at was the time, IndiaChina army was not advanced as compared to China, we had only British left weapons, but now we are worlds 2nd most military person and 4th largest military in the world, we will definitely take this land back in future it's not only dream its revenge tibet, south China, Aksai Chin
nothing is there to like about this video bro, you know who really build this long desert road? mainly Uyghurs political prisons with no payments. i really dont understand why people really appreciate for such projects and does anyone think of how many prisoners was dead in heat and bad working environment? if you work in desert more than 12 hours then i am sure within a week your youtube channel no longer have new video will be uploaded. in China most of govt maga projects there is image of prisoners in the uniform.
VERY INTERESTING! THE OIL RESERVES FOUND HERE MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON THE CHINESE DECIDED TO CONVERT THE CHINESE RAILROADS FROM COAL FIRED STEAM LOCOMOTIVES TO DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES! IN 1989 THE LAST STEAM LOCOMOTIVE BUILT THERE, THE JS SERIES 8419 WAS BUILT. THIS LOCOMOTIVE WAS EXPORTED TO THE BOONE AND SCENIC RAILROAD, BOONE IOWA! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍
when capital flows mindlessly on a command of a autocratic mob on top and we don't think about how many political slave laborers died there .. anything is possible.
One must wonder how many Mexicans died there then. No seriously they just make 90% of product in Mexico shit it to US and finish it there then boom Made in US product.
Because their locker was full ...so rest money thet want to spend or donate to beggar leaders like Imraan, Bajwa, Prachand, Oli, Rajpakse, Idi, Kim Jong, Erdogon, Mahatir
if you want to appeal to the international audiences then use SI as we do not want to hear nor think of the conversion of some backwater measuring unit or non-standard ones. then again seeing your channel is "pandora US" I am guessing you only target US audiences huh ? That aside thumbs up for China good job.
No. Did you watch the video? Believe it or not, not everything China does has to do with India. In fact, most things China does has nothing to do with India. But I suppose that won't stop you from obsessing about it.
